We are under a lot of pressure as staff due to the over supply of children with learning difficulties and poor behaviour. We are maintaining a high standard but it comes with a lot of work. Please pray for this.
There is a lot to be thankful for with provision of resources and excellent staff. We need prayer as we will soon look for another full time teacher due to roll growth.
We witnessed the Hillview production (See Hillview comments) - it was masterfully produced and performed. Well done guys.

Praise: Some brilliant results in Australasian and Sporting Competitions
Excellent Marae trip with MGS for Year 10s.
Pupils producing an excellent production - and the stories of growth and development of pupils involve in this.
Please God: Wisdom and direction for appointment of new staff for 2011.
Discernment for ensuring our special character is protected - especially when difficult "media" can make this quite intense
Funds and resources will be provided for the establishment of our new gymnasum/community centre

Greetings to you All
LCS is in good heart and we celebrate meeting our 2010 roll increase within the next two weeks of 75! God is good!
We are grateful to the BoT for encouraging roll growth by providing funding for a fourth classroom and to the Lord for supplying the funds.
Our school production is just getting underway and will be a major focus for this term...alongside plenty of literacy and numeracy!
We pray for the Lord's leading, wisdom and grace over the school community.
We pray for sustained roll growth and school development.
See you on Friday.
Blessings

After one full term in the 'hot' seat, i have come to more fully appreciate our dependance as leaders on the wisdom and grace of God! We are in good heart even with the recent media scrutiny however our parents in the main have been very supportive. We have deliberately kept a low profile in terms of the media given the inaccurate reporting.
We are nearly at the end of the review of our current SLT restructure to see what structure best suits the school for the future. Two days out last week with the SLT to do this review plus a look at our Middle School curriculum was very worthwhile. We in consultation with the English department have decided to implement a Boys only class at Year 11 for English. The curriculum and pedagogy wil be adapted to suit a class of young men.
We are also invetsigating the possibility of introducing Cambridge Examinations into Year 11 for Mathematics.
Please pray for God's protection over his school.
God bless

Please pray for:

great new owners of our building, that they would be merciful towards us when negotiating new leases for our premises.
wisdom for the Board in moving the school onwards into the future.
Praise God for:
an increasing roll.
godly men and women prepared to sacrifice much in order for their children to be educated in Christian schools.
the many volunteers who help us in so many ways.

Well, one thing for sure is that term two 2010 will be remembered by all at TCS for a long time. As you already know the term was dominated by the move to the new school premises. As expected we are still waiting for work to be completed in many areas but it is amazing how quickly something can feel like home.
